Growing up as campers, both my wife and I have an appreciation for camping and enjoying the great outdoors. Both of our parents now own campers and often retreat to area campgrounds, which allow us to make a trip to where they are and often spend the day. Giving our kids the experience of camping has been great for their development and list of growing knowledge. We even took our newest son on his first camping experience at eight weeks old, making it quite an accomplishment as a parent of three kids.

We recently took a look at renting a motorhome for some cross-country travel we are thinking of doing in the future. The problem with some of the large national companies, and even local ones, is by the time you factor in the rental, and the cost of mileage, the advantages from a cost perspective start to get washed out. Perhaps long term, shorter distance trips are more beneficial from the majority of RV rental places.

This past week we were contacted by another company asking us to review their RV rental offerings. RVShare.com is a peer-to-peer rental system. The majority of people outlay a huge sum of money to purchase their own camper; however, they may only use the RV for a portion of the year. Specifically, those of us up here in Ohio typically only have 6-9 months a year to enjoy outdoor camping, with the 9 month offering lots of rain and cooler temperatures in spring and fall.

That is where RVShare comes into the picture. RV owners looking to make back some money while the unit would typically be sitting in storage. Simply list the specifics of your motorhome, and name your price, and RVShare connects you with area travelers looking to rent the unit.

For example, taking a quick look at available units in the Cleveland area, we see there are a variety of RVs available, costing anywhere from $89-343 per night within 31 miles of the city. Venture further outside the area, and you can find additional offerings.

The distinct advantage of renting thru RVShare is you pay a flat rate per night for the unit, with no additional fees for mileage, which can quickly tack on a huge sum of money to long distance travel. Units can be rented per night, or by the week.

Even better, if you are an RV owner, looking to rent out your unit, you can list yours on RVShare for free, with no commissions or fees, and you make 100% of the income. You just have to be comfortable with the idea of someone else using your RV and knowing what they are doing.

Motorhome renting is looking up for our family, with RVShare.com providing an excellent service at a fraction of the price.
